Chris Mullin = God

THE defining trade of his short GM career (yes, Mully has outdone himself once again w/ this blockbuster). This one is arguably much better than the one that brought Baron, in my opinion.

Warriors receive:
SF/PF Al Harrington (of ill-conceived mohawk fame)
SG/SF Steven Jackson (of Pistons melee and strip club gunshots fame)
PG Sarunas Jasikevicius (of unpronouncable surname fame)
F Josh Powell (I have never heard of this guy, but a Google search brings up the tidbit that he went to college at NC State...where my main man Todd "Great White Nope" Fuller went to school)

Indiana receives:
SF (Soft Forward) Mike Dunleavy
PF/C Troy Murphy
PF Ike Diogu
PG Keith McLeod

On paper and in reality, we straight-up robbed Indiana in this deal. I would love to find out how Mullin sold Bird on this deal. Maybe something like this? "Dun and Murphy would be a better fit for your club while Al and Steven would be better fits on ours." Ummm...yeah...the Pacers would be better off with a slow of foot, stat-obsessed jump shooting clod and an extremely soft, inconsistent "coaches' son who can't shoot"(this is a direct quote from Nellie).

I guess Ike was the main selling point of the deal. If he was just 2-3 inches taller, he'd be a beast. I mean, he already has an impressive post game (remember that Detroit game when he was spinning into the lane at will and schooling their bigs?). I could see him averaging a double-double easily in a team that uses a half-court offense.

This is kinda random, but my bro had a good point: Murphy's game has never been the same ever since he drove the lane and jammed on Dale Davis a few years ago (anyone remember that?). I've never seen him attempt something remotely aggressive since.
